Det er en debatt om hvorvidt eukalyptusmulk deler de insektsavvisende evnen til å leve eukalyptustrær.

Som alle mulger, reduserer eucalyptus mulch ugress, holder jord fuktig og legger næringsstoffer til jorden når den nedbrytes. Mange gartnere bruker også eucalyptus mulch for å avstøte hageinsekter. Eucalyptus mulch kan brukes hvor andre organiske mulches brukes og krever ingen spesiell behandling. Dens mulige insektavvisende egenskaper er iboende i mulch og krever ingen spesiell vedlikeholds- eller installasjonsteknikk for å fungere.

1

Mål dybden på en eksisterende mulch. Hvis det er mer enn 2 til 4 inches dypt, vent til mulch til mer dekomponering oppstår. Skru opp eventuelle eksisterende uorganiske mulch før du bruker organisk eukalyptus mulch.

2

Spred eucalyptus mulch på bakken rundt plantene dine til en dybde på 2 til 4 inches. Bruk et tynnere lag av mulch i dårlige dreneringsområder som ofte pusser eller blir vannet. Ved mulching av unge trær for å bevare vann, spre mulch hele veien ut til kanten av treets dryplinje.

3

Trekk den frisk spredte mulchen bort fra plantestammer og trunker, og la noen få inches mellom mulch og planten. For fundamentet plantings, sørg for mulch er ikke mot bygningen, som mulching opp mot fundamentet oppmuntrer termitter og det har ikke blitt bevist at eucalyptus mulch kan fullt ut motvirke disse insekter. Hold mulch minst 12 tommer unna bygningsstiftelser.

4

Sjekk din mulch hvert år, og legg til mer etter behov for å opprettholde en dybde på 2 til 4 tommer. Hvis mulch er på riktig dybde, men ser loslitt, gjenopplive mulch ved å rake den.

Tips

  • Selv om duftoljen produsert av et levende eukalyptustre (Eucalyptus spp.) Avviser insekter, er det ikke klart om mulch laget av eukalyptus besitter denne insektstøtende kvaliteten. Noen studier tyder på at eucalyptus mulch reduserer insekt aktivitet, spesielt termit aktivitet. Andre studier hevder imidlertid at mulchen ikke har noen effekt på insektaktivitet, og andre hageneksperter mener at noen insektsavvisende muligheter mulken kan ha, er midlertidig og vil ikke vare lenger enn tre måneder.
